“Highly doubtful they had more than 4000 men with them”

Looks daft to pretty much all of us; but it’s also true that had he made Ramsay’s targeting job difficult like that, Ramsay would likely have had all of his archers unleash on him, and Rickon’s chances of dodging *that* were a lot slimmer. Fir the first 300-400 yards he could run, he was in range of instant death.

“...being judged by the seven is like crap no matter how you play it especially when the Faith Militant is crazy.”

“...he’s also being totally honest when he tells Edmure that he will catapult his infant son into Riverrun if it means he will get back to Cersei a moment sooner.”

I always thought Lady Stoneheart was unlikely. Too late in the series to bring someone that important back in, unless (s)he has some crucial role to play in the climax.

“[Joffrey] would order his army to battle the Faith Militant in the streets causing outright warfare in the streets of kings landing.”

That’s true. But the 2004-2009 series was a brilliant TV show (yes, it was, set aside the ending and the occasionally uneven final two seasons), whereas the 1978 series was a 70's cheeseball fest, whose residual fan loyalty was derived from dim childhood memories. So now any reboot would have something of high…

That’s not a bad premise, actually. Of course, it’s not very plausible that you’d keep a ship that big in a planetary surface facility. More likely, it’s in an old military space dock/boneyard that the Cylons overlooked, maybe in the upper atmosphere of a gas giant, like the ammo depot was in the 2004 min-series - or…

I went back and rewatched that after the reboot kicked off. And then I realized that - my God - the original series was far cheesier than I remembered. “That whole annihilation of the human race, and being on the run from genocidal robots thing, let’s not worry about that too much. Hey - mechanical dog antics! Resort…

“But, to be fair, BSG redux was incredibly uneven. The first regular season episode (“33") was straight up some of the best television I have ever seen, in any genre. And then there was “Black Market.””

“Yeah, what we need is a happy film about genocide!”

“...although they are supposedly engineered for a wide range of temperatures from sub-Arctic to tropic.”

You’re still giving away too much with Episode 9. I might suggest: “Jon travels south. Cersei faces a difficult challenge. Tyrion drinks, and knows things.”

Ramsay seems to like dogs a lot. Perhaps Jon could let Ghost play with him for a while.

Probably more accurate to describe the Shuttle as “refurbished” than “reused,” given just how much work had to be done to it between flights. And the fact that it was a government operated vehicle meant that its government payloads and crews really didn’t have any choice in the matter until the commercial EELV market…

I can’t see him shutting down production lines, because he’ll always have customers who will want a new launcher - or, in the case of government agencies, require one for statutory reasons - and are willing to pay extra for the privilege.

“His true nature stands more revealed: he is just a power mad man trying to rule over those around him, just like the others playing the game of thrones.”

If Tommen were really following the example of Henry VIII, he’d kill or exile the High Sparrow, and put his own loyal underling in place in the High Sept. Anyway, Margaery is clearly in the driver’s seat in this new subplot.

Well, there’s Standard Issue Bolton Psychopath, and then there’s Ramsay Super-Strength Bolton Psychopath (Now With Extra Sadism). If Ramsay’s just a chip off the old Roose Block, he may have figured that’s something she can work with and tolerate. Roose is ruthless, and a killer, but he works within certain rules.…

“At first I thought Littlefinger was sorry, then he made that comment about Jon only being Sansa’s half brother. It was obvious that he was still trying to control and manipulate her. When his pleas and apologies didn’t work, he tried another way.”
